ACT policing

ACT Policing, operating as the Australian Federal Police (AFP) within the Australian Capital Territory, is currently involved in two significant recent events. Firstly, they are investigating a banner unfurled during Pauline Hanson's National Press Club speech, an incident claimed by activist group GetUp. Secondly, and more gravely, ACT Policing has charged a 17-year-old with preparing for a terror attack, building on previous charges related to alleged extremist material. These developments highlight ACT Policing's dual role in maintaining public order and national security, responding to both political activism and serious threats within the nation's capital. Their current newsworthiness stems from these active investigations into potentially disruptive and dangerous activities.
